Campus Cops' History Goes
Back To The Good Old Days
Back in the good old days•when
Holmes field Was just anther
vacant lot, the Campus Patrol
received its 'first start. However,
there were no "Campus Cops,"
just an aged, half-stooped watch
man whose duty it was to • care
for the buildings. Nevertheless, it
was here, long before the campus
assumed its preSent forth, 'that
the fotinciation was laid for what
is now the Campus Patrol.
Highly respected and often
mentioned. faVOrably, the Pattbl
was not always so. Once it was
scotned anti considered a joke; its
Members were latighed at and ad
judged fools; and its pbWer. WOs
limited to a few minor items. No
longer do such conditions exist,
for the Campus Patrol is now One
of the most influential and hon
oied organitations oh the campus.
Although its authOtity is now
far more extehtled than it ever
was, the Patrol utes it far less
than it ever did. Its patrolmen
have• become "men of right" in
stead of "men of tniglie' The ar
rest and prosecution 'of individ
uals has become an •obsolete ftific
tibn, and in its place has been
substituted the correction of the
Wrong with beneficial value to
the persons involved.

The Campus Patrol was 'first
established in 1929 as a division
of the department of grounds and
buildings. It consisted of a cap 7
tain and two patrolmen who aid
little more than cheek oh the
buildihgs 'and see that the du
dehts kept off the grass.
As the College grew and ex
pritided socially at well as eoci
nomically, the pEittel kept pade
with every move. As each yeak
went by, mote authority
was given to the Pattol. tly the
end of 1930, the Petted was being
used as a Dirotettbie itieastire
against fire, as a control over
traffic and as an ihfluefiee for
the general good behavior of the
students. The folloWhig Year, the
Studeht Patrol Was forrhed and.
the Regular Patrol enlarged, The
expansion of the College was sb
great and so rapid that no othek
solution except' enlargement of
the Patrol could have possibly
stemmed the need.
Ttiday the Regular Patrol in
cludeS 13 men besides Catit, Phil
ip A. Wfark. There is a captain,
a liedtenant and a night ser...-
geant. The men patinl the cainOus
grounds day and night. They
work in shifts so that there is
someone on the campus at all
times. The Regular Patrol alst)
has a police
. car 'fully equipped
With a stretcher and first aid
equipment. The car patrols the
grounds at intervals throughout
the day and night.
The Student Patrol consists Of
approximately
.13 men. A student
lieutenant, two sergeants, and
two •corporals assist Capt.. Mark
with the direction of this 'group.
The remainder of the Student
Patrol is composed of patrolmen.
The duties of the Patrol are to
control traffic, direct crowds, and
be helpful in any other possible
way. The pay is not high but it
has helped many students in need
of money -to complete their cor
lr-ge• education.
Capt. Mark, who has been with
the Patrol since 1936,- states- that
positions as student patrolmen
'are still open to all male stu
dents. The draft and unsettled
college conditions have created
a wide gap in the ranks of the
Patrol. lie also would like to re
mind the student body that the
familiar blue uniform. of thb
"Campus Cop" is synonymoui
with "help and justice."

Dr. Hutchinson Warns
Against Slate Socialism
For Post-War Security
Warning that increased gov
etbment control of business and
industry will eventually result in
state socialism, Dr. K. D. Hutch
inson of the College today urged
restoration of the old system of
open competition to insure post
war security. ,
"If- federal agencies continue
to control business and regulate
Supply and 'derruind, this nation
will haVb the type of government
Wb're fighting against," the Penn
State 'economist explained. -
Claiming that - open competition
provided the nation with the
soundest' economic system in its
history, br. lititehinson &Oared:
"It's time' that we start let=
ting the busihess man run his
'own business again." • -
While favoring abolition of
goVernment regulations, Dr.
Hutchinson agreed that a gigan
tiC prbgram of g - overimient spend
ing may be necessary to ward off
postwar depression. •
A'Aere's nothing wrong With
governmerit spehdihg," he said,
"if 'the thbrieY is used for hecess
ary•purposes and hot doled out on
a charity basis.-Funds should be
used -to aid small business men,
arid, to build hospitals, schools,
acid better homes."
french Underground
TO Gather. Momentum
As Allies Drive Ahead
The French underground will
gather momentum as the • Allies
advance, in the opinion of Dr. J. B.
Clop Pet of the College, who be
lieves a majority • of the new
French political leaders will
emerge from this movement.
Dr. Cloppet, who served in
WOrld War I with the French Blue
Devils and later, as an American
Army interpreter, also expressed
his personal conviction that France
will return 'to a democratic 'form
of government following the war.
"For the past few years," he ex
plained, "the postwar type of gov
errindent has been a leading topic
in French 'underground papers:
When a • nation has suffered as
much as France,'•' he added, "the
masses will demand a maximum
of freedom and of private initia
tive:"

TIM COLIZGIAN
College Works On Problem
Of Returning Servicemen
Penn State has already started
to work on the problem of placing
returning service men in suitable
jobs, according to an article on the
'editorial page of this week's Sat
urday Evening Post.
The' article analyzes the work of
the Veterans' Counselling Com
mittee of Altoona with which the
department of psychology and
education has been cooperating.
The job of the committee is to
help returning service men re
establish themselves in civilian
life.
"Dumped back into civilian
life," the committee explains,
"these boys will have to make the
most important decisions of their
lives—and make them right away.
Athong these decisions will bt the
'selection of a life's vocation. Ob
viously, with their 18-year-old
civilian experience, they will need
help. That's why we plan to help
them from the day they return,
until they're fitted into a job that
Will give thetn : a reasonable degree
of happiness."
This help is to come from busi
ness and professional peOple of
Altoona who will interview the
'returning men, and make sugges
tions as to the type of civilian
work they are best fitted for, or
what college they should attend
in case they want to return to
school.
Here is where Penn State steps
into the picture. If the interview
ers are to make the best possible
decisions, they must know every
detail of the correct methods of
interviewing. They were taught
these methods by professors from
the College. Along with Dean M.
R. Trabue, who worked out the
course, Dr. B. V. Moore and Dr.
Clifford R. Adams, both of the psy:
chology department, conducted six
weeks of evening classes in the
art of interviewing. Not only did
Penn State's profs do the teaching,

Mr. Miles F. Hollister, who con••
ceived the plan, was assisted in
getting the idea under way by
Robert Eiche, head of the Altoona
Undergraduate Center; J. Ewing
Kennedy, area super Visor of ex •
tension; and George Le'etch of the
College Placement Service..
In discussing the classes, the
Post stated, "There were no Freu••
dian or other mysteries in the lec-•
tures; only the kind of practical
information that a lot of blisiness
men will need when they .advise
young men on picking a job."
The lectures are now over and
permanent offices are being .open
ed in the Undergraduate Center.
The committee expects to be ready
for business in about two weeks
as soon as the new quarters are
furnished.
